Volunteering in a Chengdu Panda Base: All You Need to Know

The Giant Panda is the national animal of China and has a special place in the cultural heritage of the country. Records dating back to the Xizhou Dynasty, i.e. around 1027 BC-771 BC show that people in those days considered the panda as a special animal and as strong and formidable as the tiger. It is, therefore, hardly surprising that this endangered animal is one of the major attractions for anyone visiting China. If you are thinking of observing the giant pandas closely in their natural habitat, then you can do that by becoming a Chengdu Panda Volunteer.

Your Role as a Panda Volunteer in Chengdu  

The panda reserves of China often need the support of eager helping hands who can assist in taking care of these animals. In Chengdu, there are multiple panda bases, such as the Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base, Dujiangyan Panda Ark, and Bifengxia Panda Base. These bases create a perfect environment for the pandas to thrive. They also accept volunteers who are willing to work on the panda bases and interact directly with the pandas. As a volunteer, you are going to clean the panda enclosures, feed the animals, and learn about the habits and behavioral patterns of the captive pandas.

One of the main benefits of volunteering on these bases is that it allows you to have access to places and areas that are not open to other travelers. Apart from exploring the unique natural beauty of the region, you can also learn a lot about the lifestyle and habits of the giant pandas. This could be an eye-opening experience for you. At the end of your stint on the panda base, you are going to receive a volunteer certificate that is going to recognize all the efforts you have made as a panda volunteer.

Panda takes excursion into town in southwestern China

BEIJING — A highly social giant panda out for a stroll surprised and delighted residents of a town in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan.

The panda was first spotted wandering among houses in Wenchuan county on Thursday, seemingly in search of food. She strolled beside a vegetable garden, trotted across a dirt road and climbed a tree, seemingly unfazed by the attention she drew from a large group of onlookers.

Researchers at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda confirmed that the panda was Zhenzhen, an 11-year-old female raised in captivity and recently released into the wild as part of a special breeding project.

After allowing her several hours to explore, researchers returned Zhenzhen to the Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base by mid-afternoon.

“When she’s in an amorous mood, we let her out of the enclosure, hoping that she will mate with wild pandas,” Wu Daifu, director of the Hetaoping panda training base, said in a telephone interview with China Central Television.

Zhenzhen was set free in the Tiantaishan Area of the Wolong National Nature Reserve on March 5. Freed pandas sometimes wander into settlements near the reserve, Wu said.

Back at the panda base, Zhenzhen will be looked after by staff members optimistic that she may already be pregnant.

“We are not exactly sure whether Zhenzhen had mated with wild pandas, so we just assume she already did and we will take great care of her, hoping she will surprise us,” Wu said.

China’s captive breeding program is credited with bringing giant pandas back from the brink of extinction.

The rare animals are China’s unofficial national mascot and live mainly in Sichuan’s bamboo-covered mountains.

More than 1,800 are estimated to exist in the wild, where they are threatened chiefly with habitat loss, and around 420 others live in captivity in zoos and reserves, the majority within China.
